What I Ate Wednesday {15.11.16}

16 November 2016

It's been a while since I did a What I Ate Wednesday and these are actually some of my most requested posts so here you are! If you don't already know what these entail, they're basically where I show everything I eat in a day. Today was pretty healthy by my standards but they're not always like this! (Especially after Halloween...but I've been trying to limit myself buying junk food so our stash is slowly diminishing.)

For breakfast I had porridge which is my favourite in the mornings and although I've been trying to eat different breakfasts lately, I always go back to this! I make mine with almond milk (I use the Rude Health brand) and take 1/2 cup oats, 1 and 1/4 cups of milk then cook in a saucepan on the stove. Then I topped with half a banana, blueberries and cinnamon (I've also been loving it with raisins). To drink I had a black coffee and bottle of water.

For lunch I had homemade butternut squash soup topped with a handful of crispy fried onions and ciabatta croutons (I get these as Cooks' Ingredients from Waitrose and they come in little tubs. Super easy for just throwing onto soups and making them look fancier!) I also drank another bottle of water.

Later in the afternoon I had a black coffee which I've only recently starting adding back in as I went off coffee for a while during the first trimester. I also had some chopped mango and a pot of greek style yoghurt with honey.

For dinner we had baked salmon fillets with potatoes fried in onions (these are so yummy!) and a prawn, tomato & coconut cream sauce. To be honest I probably could have added in some green veggies but I got lazy, haha! To drink I had another bottle of water.

I was stuffed after dinner but we watched The Walking Dead which always leads to snacking! So I kept it healthy (honestly it's normally not like this...I'm just trying to be good but lately it's been more like half a bag of tortilla chips and lots of sweeties!) with some red grapes, almonds and a licorice tea. This tea is always a staple in the evening - I love it. It's the sweet treat one from Teapigs). I also drank another bottle of water...always trying to keep hydrated! (And then getting up to go for a wee every hour of the night. Wonderful.)

That's it for today! Hopefully you enjoyed this post and let me know if you want me to continue doing them!

Aw amazing. I'm in my first trimester now. Completely off coffee which is not fair! I miss it :-( also just fancying junk all the time and no energy for exercise- please say it gets better else I'm gonna look like a whale lol!

Love that these are back, I have actually picked up eating oatmeal topped with fruit,and loads of cinnamon because of you! Not every morning, but off and on for the past 3 years. I think about you everyday i eat it, in a non-stalkerish sort of way. Lol

Love that these are back! I've actually started eating oatmeal topped with fruit, and loads of cinnamon because of your posts. Not every morning, but off and on for the past 3 years. Now if I could only be as cool as you, and drink my coffee black! lol

I really like these posts, I think you should keep doing them! I'm especially interested to see what you're having to eat while pregnant. I like that you eat wholesome, healthy foods and reasonable portion sizes, but are not afraid to indulge in sweets when you want them. PS You are my absolute favourite person on Snapchat! I always watch your snaps first :)

I'm so happy that you're back! :) You're literally my favorite person (on the Internet) - I discovered your channel/blog in my very early stages of that "YouTube thing", tbh you were the one introducing me to this world. And up to this day you are the most real, loving and relatable woman and I will always support you and your journey. I can only imagine how difficult it may be sometimes but please just never let the hate get to you. You're such a wonderful human being! Love you xx from Germany

I loved this post!! I also love to eat porrage in the morning, usually it is your famous porrage with chopped dates but I also eat it with berries or natural peanut butter. Are you going to be makind What I ate Wednesday videos too? xxx

I love how honest you are about how some meals don't change much - I love the routine in some of my eats. It also makes it easier overall because you aren't spending as much time thinking/planning! Now that our temps are dropping, I need to get back on a mug of tea at night - never sounds good during the warmer months!

I enjoy WIAW as well. You mentioned not doing the videos because of negative comments. Do you not feel that those same negative people will comment here? Regardless of trolls, I hope you continue to do these.
